- A bunch of angry white men, also known as the "Alt-Right" and white supremacists, held a rally last night with torches and what not. They were chanting "white lives matter" and also chanting nazi slogans. A group of opposing students with NO police protection protested against the Alt-Right at the rally.

- An Indian diplomat said they treat Ivanka, who tries to stay out of politics, as they treat "half-wit Saudi Princes" (!!!!) ahead of a summit where she will lead U.S. delegation.

- Trump said they are thinking of military intervention in Venezuela. The Pentagon has refuted those claims. Ben Sasse, member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, spoke out against Trump and said "Congress doesn't vote to spill Nebraskans' blood based on who the executive lashes out at today".

Lmaooooooo were you expecting him to speak against them? He's the reason they aren't wearing hoodies anymore. This is what you get when you put a klansmen in the Whitehouse. They know the state backs them, that nothing is going to happen to them.

This makes me really fucking sad. I hate this man. Genuinely loathe him to the point of hoping and praying for him to be [redacted].

I spent a good amount of time in Charlottesville during school because I had friends at UVA, and this is not the Charlottesville I remember (aside from the anti-KKK protestors). I can't imagine the kind of white trash that will come out of the woodwork when Richmond, VA ultimately tears down their monuments to the Confederacy on Monument Ave. I hope they tear down the Confederate White House, too. Or that someone burns it down. All these men and women are scum and I can't even find the words to express how much I fucking hate the state of things right now.

I lived in Charlottesville for a decade (left last August) & seeing the pictures of Neo-Nazis carrying torches at my former university is so horrifying. The stories I'm reading in the news and what I'm seeing on FB (the counter protestors had no police protection & one of the student deans went in with just one other person to protect them) are making me so sad/angry.

I'm in Lynchburg and I'm really surprised all this shit keeps going down in Charlottesville. I always thought they were more of a liberal bubble in the area (obv "more liberal" is relative, but still). It's horrifying.

charlottesville resident here, one of the reasons that cville was picked for all these protest spots is bc we're more liberal. in the past election we voted 80% democrat and jason kessler specifically was upset at the community for "blaming white people for everything" and that's why he organized the rally to stick it to the strong liberal community. spencer and all the other fucks also came in droves to support him since they came last month for the kkk rally and it just blew the fuck up

I saw someone on Twitter pointing out that they are Polynesian-style torches and how ironic and indicative of education level it is for these racists to be using them which is a really good point. lmao like I guess they're only invested in tradition if it's easy.

It's the english for Blut und Boden which was one of the central NS ideologies and meant to prop up the arian farmers as opposed to us dirty nomadic and/or urban jews. It was also the central term of the NS agriculture policy.

What itwalksamongus said. It's the idea of the ethnic superiority of people who come from the land, descended by blood from people who've been there for generations and who worked the land, as opposed to the cosmopolitan Jews (who weren't allowed to farmw) and industrialists. It's an explicitly Nazi version of Real Americans, basically. Which is delusional enough in Germany, but REAL fucking dumb in the US, especially in a former slave state.

Thomas Jefferson, who founded UVA, was all about the noble agrarian bullshit, and his white descendants have notoriously denied his black descendants, as has the FFV their black descendants, so this seems like exactly where they would do their dumb citronella goosestepping

I really want Maduro out but I swear I'm praying right now US does not intervene. Worst thing is some people actually want that and are like "YES!" reading the news. Even watching a fucking movie you can see the horrors of war? It's not like they'll drop a bomb in miraflores and everything will be magically fixed.

Also, how come no one detained those white "protesters"? The world is fucked man

Yeah Maduro should be out but if history has taught us something is that US intervention is not the answer, specially in latin-america, they have done enough damage here so gringos should stay in their fucking country and stop with this nonsense, and to the people who are agreeing with US intervention it's like, watch the fucking news and read a history book, not even with better presidents they were a good idea , what do they expect with tramp???
